  2. 1. Adiponectin in atherosclerosis

    Author : Jonas Persson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Adiponectin;

    Abstract : Adiponectin is a protein secreted from adipocytes, circulating at high levels in plasma (3 30μg/mL), and in overweight subjects it is down regulated. Adiponectin inhibits the development of atherosclerosis in experimental animal models but whether adiponectin is anti atherogenic in humans is not known. READ MORE

  4. 2. Adipocyte-derived hormones and cardiovascular disease

    Author : Maria Eriksson; Stefan Söderberg; Tommy Olsson; Lena Jonasson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : leptin; adiponectin; fibrinolysis; vWF; myocardial infarction; sex differences; physical activity; risk factors;

    Abstract : Obesity is increasing globally and related to major changes in lifestyle. This increase is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Knowledge about adipose tissue as a metabolic-endocrine organ has increased during the last few decades. READ MORE

    Abstract : Cardiovascular complications are frequent in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular death is the most common cause of death for these individuals. A region on chromosome 19 (19q13) has been indicated by several genome scans as a susceptibility locus for T2D or components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). READ MORE

  6. 4. Acute myocardial infarction and glucose abnormalities : novel risk markers and characteristics

    Author : Märit Wallander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: There is a strong relationship between abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT) and the occurrence of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The identification of novel risk markers and pathophysiological disease characteristics may add important information to our understanding of the reasons for the disease pattern and thereby open the door to new therapeutic opportunities in this high-risk group of patients.

  7. 5. Coronary computed tomography in patients with myocardial infarction and non-obstructed coronary arteries

    Author : Elin Bacsovics Brolin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death worldwide. In Sweden, almost 30 000 people suffer an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) each year and, despite the greatly improved survival after AMI, CVD remains the leading cause of death among women and men. READ MORE
